A photograph of a drawing usually accepted as by Raphael (c.1514) now in the Albertina, Vienna (inv. no.192v). The drawing is a study for the final composition of The Miraculous Draught of Fishes, one from a set of ten tapestry cartoons depicting episodes from the lives of St Peter and St Paul, commissioned from Raphael by Pope Leo X in c.1515. The tapestries were woven in the Brussels workshop of Pieter van Aelst and were intended to be hung in the Sistine Chapel. For further discussion, see Bibliographic References.
